Job summary

SRC, Inc. is seeking an Algorithm Engineer to develop radar and sensor processing algorithms for defense and national security applications in an early-career role.

You will work under senior engineers to implement, test, and analyze estimators from real recorded data, applying first-principles reasoning to interpret sensor measurements. The role sits at the intersection of applied math, physics, and software, with emphasis on rigorous validation and practical implementation in real systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related field; 0+ years experience.
• Strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and Fourier analysis.
• Experience with digital signal processing: sampling, filtering, spectral estimation, FFT.

Responsibilities

• Implement and test signal processing algorithms such as matched filtering, pulse compression, Doppler processing, beamforming, and detection processing.
• Analyze recorded sensor data to characterize system behavior, artifacts, interference, and validate theory.
• Develop and run modeling and simulation to generate synthetic data and support Monte Carlo analysis.
• Build analysis tooling and visualizations for multidimensional data interpretation.
• Compare algorithm performance against theoretical bounds and alternative approaches using ROC, detection/false alarm rates, and estimation error stats.
• Translate prototype algorithms into production or real-time implementations.
• Gather data and perform routine analyses to support program objectives.
• Contribute data, figures, and findings to reports, test Docs, and presentations.
